The Way Of Sorrow

Sorrow for our sins is the first stage of spiritual life. It is now like an apology given after an argument that is only meant to make the other person feel better.

It is a deep state of sorrow for our actions. In one way, sin is the death of our spirits before God and sorrow is the first step to the resurrection of our spirits.

This is not a one-time ritual to be performed for God's benefit, though. Rather, it becomes a continuous attitude within our hearts. We must always be mindful of depths to which our soul has been plunged, and recall the heights to which God's grace has brought us.
